Thought that cats were the only ones capable of sneak attacks? This video proved otherwise.

Were they at Manchester airport? Were they at Prague airport? Who cares! It's a slice of silly brilliance.

"Just got a melodica. Here's my rendition of the Jurassic Park theme song," wrote YouTuber Patrick Lo. The result was magnificent.

If there's one group of viral video makers who have consistently brightened 2012 for us, it's the Bad Lip Reading team. It was a tough call to pick our favourite - but their version of the first 2012 Presidential Debate won our vote.

Not surprisingly, this video made this cat an internet sensation.

You're intoxicated. The Canadian police pick you up. How do you respond? By singing the whole of 'Bohemian Rhapsody' in the back of a cop car, of course!

How do you turn a politician's apology into a song? And then pretty much oblige him to release it as a charity single? Just ask those marvellous people at The Poke.

Or to be more accurate: four-year-old Abigael is tired of "Bronco Bamma and Mitt Romney". Look - it was early November. Who could blame her?

"You don't know much about wine... but you DO know you shouldn't buy the cheapest." A big tip of the hat to College Humor for coming up with our favourite spoof ad of the year.

"I thought I could be sneaky and video tape the proposal by saying I am taking a picture," wrote YouTuber Chris Nicholson. "However our puppy had other ideas."

A woman calls into a local radio station to complain about the 'deer crossing' signs. Because she thinks that deer crossing signs are placed by roads in order to tell the deer where to cross. An absolute gem.

He's just hangin' out... Becoming an internet star...

"The name's Rooney. Wayne Rooney...". Forgive the indulgence, but we were rather proud of our James Bond spoof.

And staying on a baby theme: get a load of the baby in Krakow who easily outshone their busking dad. Aww!

Did you watch the Olympic sailing rounds? Were you utterly confused? Thought so. So was Fran Higgins' Irish commentator.

Watch out, stuffed toys - Dragon Baby will kick your ass! Adorably!

...And Tries To Get It Into Her Kennel (full title). Quite possibly our favourite dog video of the year, and proof, once again, that they aren't as bright as cats.

A College Humor video that takes the piss out of Instagram users? Set to the tune of Nickeback's 'Photograph'? Yes, please!

Although it's not just the sight of a penguin falling down, but the reaction of his penguin pals that's p-p-p-priceless. Make sure you watch it with the sound up!
